Nothing was more magical for me
I've only been lucky enough to make one trip to London in my 22 years of life, but of all the things in that glorious city which excited me most, nothing was more magical for me than hopping aboard one of London's bright red Routemaster busses for the first time. Could any one physical object better capture the essence of London, England? The deep red colour, their curvacious shape and their noisy grit. Their spacious, crazily patterned interiors full of people with unique stories going to unique places in a mysterious city. You live on in my heart.
